Freedom Airlines?CactusPilot1 said:I know he's a member and already on the APA's general discussion. It won't be hard to pick out the CLOWNS when they show up. Ucrapa's Continental and Freedom scabs need not apply.
"The airline was established in March 2002 and started operations in October 2002. It was the launch customer for the Bombardier CRJ-900. The airline was started so that Mesa Air Group could fulfill its contractual obligations to operate the CRJ-900 as America West Express for America West Airlines. Establishing Freedom was necessary as Mesa Airlines was also operating as US Airways Express under a code share agreement for US Airways. US Airways' collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association prohibited contract carrier code share arrangements with regional jet carriers, if that carrier operated aircraft with more than 70 seats. Mesa Airlines, therefore, could not operate as US Airways Express and operate the CRJ-900."
Wiki, but it is a correct historical summation.
The america west pilots ignored the fact that Freedom operated from 2002 to 2010 as an awa feeder.
Your thoughts please?
